clarksc123 Cross Country Rider [Jul 22, 2003]

Every year myself and a group of Okie mountain bikers head up to Colorado to escape the heat and do some riding. Since we are flatlanders we usually stick to the resorts that offer liftbiking. Let me tell you, Ive been to about every ski area in CO (over the past 6-7 yrs) and the riding in Winter Park is the best. Vail is pretty fun too, but the trails at Winter Park are so kick ass it makes me want to cry. Ive ridden up the mountain before and it was cool to do, but when on vac. its not about building fitness, its about haulin ass and winter park is so much fun to do that in. Tight, fast, fairly smooth singletrack that you can fly on. I think its on cherokee, but at one point you are cruising through the trees, bobbing and weaving just like one of those speeder bikes from Return of the Jedi. Then you ride the lift up and do it again... Awesome. Also, if you are coming from out of town there is a cool camp area halfway between the city and the ski area that sits right along the Fraser River Trail. Its an easy ride from the campsite up to the ski area. I'm going in a month and am having trouble falling asleep just thinking about it. Its that good.

Customer Service

Lift up or if youre into that whole fitness thing you can ride up the Turnpike. At the top of the lift any trail is good. Long trail rules. Goat trail is totally technical, rough as crap(super fun!) and plops you out on an access road that you can take to the city. I did that dirt road during a t-storm and its one of the best rides Ive ever been on.

Similar Products Used: Vail is really fun too. I love the city of Vail, wayyy more partyin than W.P. Breck trails are fun but need some maintenance. Same for Keystone--at least as of last year. I'd recommend any. South Boun

A great trail!!! It was rocky, bumpy, and when I went it had snow! That was even more fun!!! It is not such a switchback, more strait down, but has a lot of turns and corners. It would be rather challenging to get up!!!

Customer Service

To get there you find a ski run near railroad tracks and follow the road up to the top. Take the road to the right and to the right there will be Cherokee Trail down some.

This section is Lower Cherokee. Fun to bomb down. Lots of roots and ruts. Pretty steep and really, really, fast. Lots o' fun. At the CORPS King of the Rockies race (Tipperary Creek Course), they do a kids race on Serenity, so when you're heading back towards the resort, you have to climb Lower Cherokee. It is not fun, especially after racing the entire Tipperary Creek loop.

Customer Service

this trail described as such is actually Lower Cherokee. The best loop is to hit it all of the way from the top. Upper and Lower Arapahoe, then Upper and Lower Cherokee, in on Serenity back to the base of the resort.

terrific ride with climbs that will elevate the heart rate and downhills that will leave your hands numb. you can always spend the money and take the lift up and bomb down long trail/arapahoe/cheyenne...

Customer Service

turnpike up to long trail up to four points (where upper/lower long, lower arapahoe, and upper cherokee intersect). from four points down upper cherokee to tunnel hill (right 20 yds) down lower cherokee. now you can either make a long loop of it and hit ice hill to blue sky... or take a right to serenity and loop back to the winter park base.
